If I could give this "school" zero stars I would. This is the most garbage school I have ever had the misfortune of attending. I have attended other colleges and never had the problems like I have had at this school. I was not a bad student; I was on the dean's list and had perfect attendance. The whole experience of externship was horrible , from the beginning when I was told "nobody wanted me" to getting placed in the most garbage site where we saw 2 people/patients in 4 weeks. The staff didn't care even when these grievances were brought to their attention. I wish I could've saved my money and time by going to a more legitimate school than this. The only good part was my instructor but thankfully she has also left the school for a better job. To top it all off after paying in full they send me to collections because of their accounting error. EDIT: the school has contacted me to try and take this review down because “prospective students may see it”. Well that’s the point. Especially since it wasn’t made aware to me before I signed up that I could not get certified by AAMA because they aren’t accredited. Edit 2: I would also like it to be know that they offered students extra credit to put up fake 5 start reviews. I can see the people in my class who did it.

Don’t not recommend taking night classes! Don’t know if morning classes are any better but Night classes SUCK!! TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS, I’LL BE WORTH IT !!!! I took the course for Medical Assistant, went to extern and felt stupid. The school had left out the most important parts I needed to know. Everything is basically self learning and the teacher I had for the first 4 months did not teach us at all!! And to top it off we spent 2 months in computers doing absolutely nothing!! The school decided to give us an extra 2 months in computers because we were just guinea pigs for a thing they wants to try out! (How do I know, our teacher TOLD us) So they took 2 months that I could have been actually learning in lab! But once I was in lab, I didn’t get teached what other students before me did. I also volunteered for this school and didn’t receive my certificate like they said I would. There scrubs are also really CHEAP and ugly, the teachers literally try to scare you by telling you no one will like you when you enter externship or start working, which isn’t true! Don’t waist your money or time here, I feel like they didn’t do a good job preparing me for the medical field! Take it from someone who went through all the process because I couldn’t afford to drop out!! Do your research before going because I clearly didn’t.
